Followup on today's multi-platform security hole
The Mac, running OS X 10.3, seems to be unaffected. I tried to run the demonstration program on a browser on my Mac and nothing happened.
The official word on whether this affects the Mac is "we don't know". The silicon.com article about the Java vulnerability says in part:
"The advisories from Sun, Secunia and Pynnonen do not address whether the problem could affect Apple's Mac OS X operating system, which is based on a Unix-like core of code, similar to Linux. The Sun representative said that the Mac issue is being investigated.
Apple was not immediately available for comment."
